A 50-year-old man was killed when he was struck by a vehicle as he crossed a street in the East Garfield Park neighborhood early this morning, police said.

The man was crossing the 3600 block of West Congress Parkway when a westbound light-colored vehicle struck him about 12:45 a.m., Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Amina Greer said. The man, identified as Jonathan Alexander, was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 1:19 a.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.

A home address was not available for Alexander.

The man died from blunt trauma to the head from the vehicle hitting him, the medical examiner's office determined following an autopsy.

The vehicle did not stop after hitting the man, police said. No one was in custody early this morning as the police department's Major Accidents Investigation Unit investigated the crash.
